Financial Management Goal Of Financial Management:
Increasing the value of the equity Capital Budgeting:
Acquire long-term assets Because long-term assets:
Determine the nature of the firm Are hard decisions to reverse
They are the most important decisions for the financial manager
Selecting Assets Whish assets to invest in? There are many options. Which do we pick?
4
Good Decision Criteria For Capital Budgeting We need to ask ourselves the
following questions when evaluating decision criteria Does the decision rule adjust for the
time value of money? Does the decision rule adjust for risk? Does the decision rule provide
information on whether we are creating value for the firm?
Net Present Value = NPV The difference between the market value and
it’s cost = Value Added. Example:
Point of View = Asset Buyer If:
Cost = -$200,000 Market Value (Present Value Future Cash Flows) =
$201,036 NPV = $201,036 - $200,000 = $1,036
We examine a potential investment in light of its likely effect on the price of the firm’s shares NPV/(# of shares outstanding)
5
6
NPV If there is a market for assets similar to
the one we are considering investing in, we use that market and our decision making is simplified
When we cannot observe a market price for at least a roughly comparable investment, capital budgeting is made difficult… then we use:Discounted Cash Flow Valuation (DCF) to get our NPV
DCF gives us an estimate of market value.

Rules for DCF or NPV
1. The first step is to estimate the expected future cash flows (Chapter 9)
2. The second step is to estimate the required return for projects (investments) of this risk level (Chapter 10, 11)
3. The third step is to find the present value of the cash flows and subtract the initial investment (Chapter 8)

that will cost us $200,000 to launch and will yield these cash flows (Required Rate of Return= 15%):

Cash Flow 0 (Cost) -$200,000.00Cash Flow 1 $100,000.00Cash Flow 2 $90,000.00Cash Flow 3 $70,000.00
NPV/DCF Method Used In Earlier ChaptersExample 1:
12
NPV Excel Function & FormulaNPV Function:=NPV(rate,value1,value2…)
� rate = Period RRR (Discount) = i/n.� value1 = Range of cells with cash flows.� Cash flows must happen at the end of each
period.� Cash flows start at time 1.� Never include cash flows at time 0 (zero).
� Cash flows do not have to be equal in amount.� Time between each cash flow must be the same.
NPV Formula when cost is at time 0:=NPV(rate,value1,value2…) - Cost

We Have Just Talked About NPV Investment Criteria:
1. Net Present Value √2. Payback Rule ≈3. Accounting Rates Of Return ≈4. Internal Rate Of Return ≈5. The Profitability Index ≈
Let’s look at one example and compare all these methods
20
Data For Example 4 You are looking at a new project and you
have estimated these numbers:CF0 -160,000.00CF1 60,000.00CF2 70,000.00CF3 90,000.00
Net Income 1 13,000.00Net Income 2 25,000.00Net Income 3 20,000.00
Your required return for assets of this risk 15%Average Book Value 90,000.00
Example 4:Computing NPV for The Project:

Advantages of NPV Rule Rule adjusts for the time value of
money Rule adjusts for risk (RRR - Discount Rate)
Rule provides information on whether we are creating value for the firm
23
Payback Rule Payback Period
The amount of time required for an investment to generate cash flows to recover its initial costs
Computation Estimate the cash flows Determine # of years Required to get “paid
back”. Subtract the future cash flows from the initial cost
until the initial investment has been recovered

Data For Example 5 You are looking at a new project and you
have estimated these numbers:CF0 -160,000.00CF1 60,000.00CF2 70,000.00CF3 90,000.00

Your required return for assets of this risk 15%Average Book Value 90,000.00
25
Example 5:Computing Payback For The Project Assume we will accept the project if it pays
back within two years. Year 1: 160,000 – 60,000 = 100,00 still to recover Year 2: 100,000 – 70,000 = 30,000 still to recover
Do we accept or reject the project? Reject. The project did not pay back
within 2 years.
Example 5 continued:
26
27
Decision Criteria Test - Payback Does the payback rule account for
the time value of money? Does the payback rule account for
the risk of the cash flows? Does the payback rule provide an
indication about the increase in value?
Should we consider the payback rule for our primary decision criteria?
28
Advantages & Disadvantages of Payback
Advantages Easy to understand Cost to do this analysis
is minimal – good for small investment decisions
Adjusts for uncertainty of later cash flows (gets rid of them)
Biased towards liquidity (tends to favor investments that free up cash for other uses more quickly)
Disadvantages Ignores the time value of money Fails to consider risk differences
Risky or very risky projects are treated the same
Requires an arbitrary cutoff point Ignores cash flows beyond the
cutoff date Biased against long-term
projects, such as research and development, and new projects
Does not guarantee a single answer
Does not ask the right question: Does it increase equity value?
You have to estimate the cash flows any way, so why not take the extra time to calculate NPV?
Problems with Payback Rule:
29
Years Required to Pay Back Investment = 2Year Pro A Pro B Pro C
0 -$250 $250 -$2501 100 100 1002 100 100 2003 -250 1004 250 100
Accept or Reject?Yes, but is it year 2 or 4?
No. Because only $200 by year 2.
Yes. Because $300 Cash In by year 2.
Problems: We get 2 answersIgnores cash flows after year 2.
This project has a negative NPV - ignores time value of $.
NPV = $535.50 -$11.81Required Return: 0.15
30
Average Accounting Return = AAR There are many different definitions for
Average Accounting Return.
Here is one:
Here is another: Calculate (Return On Assets = ROA) for
each year and then average the ROAs.
Average Net IncomeAverage Book Value
= AAR
Average Accounting Return = AAR Steps in calculating AAR:1. Estimate All Revenue and Expenses over
the life of the asset.2. Calculate the Net Income for each year.3. Estimate Book Value over life of asset.
Note that the average book value depends on how the asset is depreciated.
4. Decide on target cutoff AAR rate5. Decision Rule:
Accept the project if the calculated AAR > cutoff AAR rate.
31
32
Average Book Value = When Straight Line Depreciation is
used:
(Cost + Salvage)/2
When a Non- Straight Line Depreciation is used:
(BV0 + BV1 +…BVt)/(t+1)

Decision Criteria Test - AAR Does the AAR rule account for the
time value of money? Does the AAR rule account for the
risk of the cash flows? Does the AAR rule provide an
indication about the increase in value?
Should we consider the AAR rule for our primary decision criteria?
36
Advantages and Disadvantages of AAR Advantages
Easy to calculate Needed
information will usually be available
Disadvantages Not a true rate of
return; time value of money is ignored
Uses an arbitrary benchmark cutoff rate
Based on accounting net income and book values, not cash flows and market values
NPV Profile
37
Solve For Rate Remember:
Chapter 5 (Annuities and Multiple Cash Flows) Chapter 6 (Bonds)
We learned that we can solve for rate. For Annuities or Bonds we were able to look at cash
flows and determine the rate. Chapter 8 (Multiple Cash Flows for Buying Assets)
Just as YTM was “internal rate” of cash flows for bonds, IRR will be “internal rate” of cash flows for capital budgeting.
We solve for the rate at which the NPV is zero and that becomes the hurdle rate between + NPV and – NPV.
38
IRR = Internal Rate of Return To Understand What IRR means, build a NPV Profile and
look for the rate at which NPV = $0 This tells you the rate of return for the cash flows from the
project.

IRR = Internal Rate of ReturnIRR = Rate at Which NPV = $0

All RRR above IRR, subtract value (-NPV)

41
IRR = Internal Rate of Return =“Break Even Rate”
Definition: Rate that makes the NPV = $0
Decision Rule:
Most important alternative to NPV. It is often used in practice and is intuitively appealing. Calculation based entirely on the estimated cash flows and is
independent of interest rates found elsewhere Formula inputs are cash flows only!

IRR RRR>
IRR Excel FunctionIRR Function:=IRR(values,guess)
� values = range of cells with cash flows. Cash out is negative, cash in is positive. Range of values must contain at least one positive and one negative value.
� Guess is not required. But if you get a #NUM! error, try different guesses – ones you think might be close.
� Cash flows must happen at the end of each period.� Cash flows start at time 0.
� Cash flows do not have to be equal in amount.� Time between each cash flow must be the same.� IRR gives you the period rate. If you give it annual cash flows,
it gives you annual rate, if you give it monthly cash flows, it gives you monthly rate.
� **Don’t use IRR for investments that have non-conventional cash flows (cash flow other than time 0 is negative) or the investments are mutually exclusive alternatives and initial cash flows are substantially different or timing are substantially different.

Computing IRR For The ProjectExample 7: Formula Inputs
are cash flows – that’s it!
If you do not have Excel or a financial calculator, then this becomes a trial and error process.

Decision Criteria Test - IRR Does the IRR rule account for the time
value of money? Does the IRR rule account for the risk
of the cash flows? Does the IRR rule provide an
indication about the increase in value? Should we consider the IRR rule for
our primary decision criteria? No! Because of two circumstances…
47
Advantages of IRR Knowing a return is intuitively appealing. It is a simple way to communicate the
value of a project to someone who doesn’t know all the estimation details.
If the IRR is high enough, you may not need to estimate a required return, which is often a difficult task.
In the working world, many people use IRR.
48
Summary of Decisions For The ProjectSummary
Net Present Value Accept
Payback Period Reject
Average Accounting Return Reject
Internal Rate of Return Accept
DefineMutually Exclusive A situation were
taking one project prevents you from taking another project. Ex: With the land,
you can build a farm or a factory, not both.
Not Both.
Independent Taking one project does
not affect the taking of another project. Ex: If you buy machine A,
you can also buy machine B, or not.
Ex: Cash flows from Project A do not affect cash flows for Project B.
Projects that are Not Mutually Exclusive are said to be Independent.
49
50
NPV & IRR NPV and IRR will generally give us the same
decision if:
Conventional Cash Flows = Cash flow time 0 is negative. Remaining cash flows are positive.
Projects (investments) Are Independent: The decision to accept/reject this project does not
affect the decision to accept/reject any other project.
Independent = “not mutually exclusive”.
OK to use IRR or NPV
Both give same
answer.
51
DO NOT Use IRR, Instead Use NPV
DO NOT use IRR for projects that have non-conventional cash flows
DO NOT use IRR for projects that are mutually exclusive.
NOT OK to use IRR
Use NPV instead
52
IRR and Nonconventional Cash Flows When the cash flows change sign more
than once, there is more than one IRR When you solve for IRR you are solving
for the root of an equation and when you cross the x-axis more than once, there will be more than one return that solves the equation
If you have more than one IRR, which one do you use to make your decision?

Summary of Decision Rules
The NPV is positive at a required return of 15%, so you should Accept.
If you use Excel, you would get an IRR of 14% which would tell you to Reject.
You need to recognize that there are non-conventional cash flows and use NPV for decision rule.
55
IRR and Mutually Exclusive Projects So far we have only asked the question:
“Should we invest our $ in Project A?” But what if we ask: “Should we invest our $
in Project A or B?”
Mutually exclusive projects If you choose one, you can’t choose the
other Example: You can choose Investment A or
B, but not both.
56
Example 9: Mutually Exclusive Projects
The required return for both projects is 10%.
Which project should you accept and why?
Period Cash Flow A Cash Flow B0 -5,500.0 -5,500.01 2,500.0 1,100.02 2,200.0 2,200.03 2,200.0 2,750.04 1,650.0 3,000.0
Example 9: NPV and IRR Can Give Different Answers.For These Cash Flows, When RRR = 10%, We Get Different Answers.
Total cash flows are larger, but payback more slowly, so higher NPV at low RRR
Mutually Exclusive Projects (Investements)RRR 10%
Period Cash Flow A Cash Flow B0 -5,500.0 -5,500.01 2,500.0 1,100.02 2,200.0 2,200.03 2,200.0 2,750.04 1,650.0 3,000.0
IRR 0.2183 0.1986NPV 1,370.8 1,433.3
At RRR = 10%, we use NPV as criteria and accept B.
57
Example 9: NPV and IRRNPV Profile shows that NPV depends on RRR.IRR is the same no matter what the RRR is.
Bigger cash flows in early years means they are less affected by large RRR (cash flows closer to time zero are less affected by discounting (less time to compound)) Payback is quicker, so higher NPV at high RRR.
Mutually Exclusive Projects (Investements)RRR 17%
Period Cash Flow A Cash Flow B0 -5,500.0 -5,500.01 2,500.0 1,100.02 2,200.0 2,200.03 2,200.0 2,750.04 1,650.0 3,000.0
IRR 0.2183 0.1986NPV 498.0 365.3
At RRR = 17%, we use NPV as criteria and accept A. 58
NPV B > NPV A,When Discount
Rate < 12%Ranking conflict:IRR & NPV give
different answers
NPV A > NPV B,When Discount
Rate > 12%No ranking conflict:
IRR and NPVgive same answer
Example 9: NPV Profile shows that NPV depends on RRR.ME – Don’t Use IRR, use NPV.
NPV B
NPV A
59
60
Conflicts Between NPV and IRR NPV directly measures the increase
in value to the firm Whenever there is a conflict
between NPV and another decision rule, you should always use NPV
IRR is unreliable in the following situations Non-conventional cash flows Mutually exclusive projects
Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)Example 10:
61
Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) 3 different methods Controversial:
Not one way to calculate MIRR (different results that with large values and long time frames can lead to large differences).
Is it really a rate if it comes from modified cash flows? Why not just use NPV? If you use a discount rate to get modified cash flows, you
can not get a true IRR. Cash reinvested may be unrealistic because, who knows if
the rate that you are using for discounting is the same rate that would be applied to a cash flow that might be used for any number of things.
62
63
Profitability Index (Benefit Cost Ratio) PI Formula= PVFCF/Initial Cost
PI > 1, accept project PI < 1, reject project
Measures the benefit per unit cost, based on the time value of money
A profitability index of 1.1 implies that for every $1 of investment, we create an additional $0.10 in value Use this PI Formula = PVFCF/Initial Cost – 1
This measure can be very useful in situations where we have limited capital (can’t do all projects, then select greater PI)
PIExample 11:
65
Advantages and Disadvantages of Profitability Index Advantages
Closely related to NPV, generally leading to identical decisions
Easy to understand and communicate
May be useful when available investment funds are limited
Disadvantages May lead to
incorrect decisions in comparisons of mutually exclusive investments
Scale is not revealed
10/5 = 1000/500
66
Capital Budgeting In Practice We should consider several investment
criteria when making decisions NPV and IRR are the most commonly used
primary investment criteria Payback is a commonly used secondary
investment criteria Why so many? Because they are all only
estimates! The financial manager acts in the
stockholder’s best interest by identifying and taking positive NPV projects

Quick Quiz Consider an investment that costs $150,000 and
has a cash inflow of $38,500 every year for 6 years and in 7th year the cash flow is $2,000. The required return is 15% and required payback is 3 years. What is the payback period? What is the NPV? What is the IRR? Should we accept the project?
What decision rule should be the primary decision method?
When is the IRR rule unreliable?

Two Reasons NPV Profiles Cross
Size (scale) differences. Smaller project frees up funds sooner for
investment. The higher the opportunity cost, the more
valuable these funds, so high discount rate favors small projects.
Timing differences. Project with faster payback provides more
CF in early years for reinvestment. If discount rate is high, early CF especially
good
Reinvestment Rate Assumption IRR assumes reinvestment at IRR NPV assumes reinvestment at the
firm’s weighted average cost of capital (opportunity cost of capital) More realistic NPV method is best
NPV should be used to choose between mutually exclusive projects
